EDITOR IN CHIEF
The Campus Moviefest Finale
marked the end of Assistant Director of LEAP Sarah Morgan's tenure
at Whittier College. On Monday
night, Oct. 13, Morgan hosted her
last Whittier College event before
her departure to University of South
Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina
to serve as the Program Advisor for
Carolina Productions.
Morgan, who was acknowledged at
a student life team meeting and at a
LEAP office sponsored reception,
had been with Whittier College for
three years and one month and in
addition to her duties as Assistant
Director, she has served on Employee of the Month committees,
professional committees, as the advisor for student organizations like
the Quaker Campus, the Acropolis,
KPoet and Video Production Club.
She has also presented at national
conferences. For the time being,
several clubs and organizations are
without a permanent advisor.
"I think that each person that
leaves, that's contributed a special
gift or talent creates a vacuum,"
Dean of Students Jeanne Ortiz said.
"It creates a loss for all of us."
"We lost our advisor to accompany us to our student mecjia confer-

ence, and we lost an advisor that was
very supportive and was willing to
work late with us or on weekends,"
Acropolis Editor-in-Chief senior
Sarah Miranda said.
Sarah's departure also results in
a loss of experience in the LEAP
office that has recently added a new
director.
"I'm starting my sixth week here
at Whittier," Director of LEAP
Rick Clark said. "So for me, it will
impact the job greatly because I'm

Fountains running
A.fter a week of repairs fountains are operational

NEWS EDITOR
Both of the fountains on the Whittier campus are now operational after vandalism left them broken. The
Richard M. Nixon fountain, located
on the North Lawn, and the science
center fountain underwent extensive repairs. After investigation, the
Nixon fountain was found to have
been vandalized with soapsuds.
According to an email sent to Dean
of Students Jeanne Ortiz, the fountain's spillway, part of the pump,
was clogged and what resulted was
a massive mountain of bubbles. The
pump burned out and needed to be
replaced. The pump alone was $400
and required hours of plumbing labor. "Putting soap suds in the fountain is not just a harmless prank,"
Ortiz said.
The fountain in front of the science center was clogged with detritus including several sweatshirts
tied in a knot.
The fountain required the same
treatment as the Nixon fountain but
the pump was $500. "It's not harmless fun, it's at least $1000 to fix it
each time," Director of Facilities
Tom Marotta said.
"We have a beautiful new campus,
a fabulous new campus center, two
wonderful fountains. What can we
do to create pride in our campus to
keep these wonderful facilities operating in a way we all feel proud of,"
Ortiz said. "I believe this is a part
of the student culture. The adults
can take care of the campus but it's
up to the students to show pride in
the campus."
The issue came to light to Ortiz
when a first-year student wrote her
an email asking why the fountains
were not working. The student went
on to do some investigation on the
fountains. "The thing I'm most
pleased about is that a student took
notice of something that needed to
be fixed, communicated it, and educated the campus community," Ortiz said.
In total, it took just over one
week of work to fix the fountains
which became fully operational on
Wednesday, Oct. 15.
